Letters Patent No. 98,301, dated December 28, 1869.

BAse-BbRNme s-rovn.

The Schedule referrec'i to in these Letters Patent and making paxtof the same.

I, J OHN J. ROEPER, of the city of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in IVIagazine-Sto'ves, of which the following is a specification.

Nature and Objects of the Invention.

Description of the Accompanying Drawings. Figure 1 is a vertical central section (from front to rear) of a magazine stove for a fire-place, embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the top plate of the same.

General Description.

A is the magazine, supported within the fire-chamher in the usual manner.

B, the incandescent-fuel space between the lower end of A and the usual grate b.

b, the hot space around the magazine A and above the incandescent-fuel line.

' O, the large direct-draught flue, communicating with the space b, and the usual chimney-flue D, and

0', its valve or damper.

E is the air-warming and distributing chamber, forming the upper end of the stove, and

a, the teed-channel of the magazine, forming a passage-way for the feed through the chamber E.

The magazine A and the inca-mlescent-i'uel space B, are constructed and arranged, in relation to each other, in the usual manner, with this difference, 11. c., in myimprovement the top of the magazine A-is entirely closed, excepting the feed-channel a, by a solid plate, which forms also the bottom plate c, of the air-warming and distributing chamber E, so that there cannot occur any draught or current of air upward through the said magazine to the chimney-flue D, and consequently the tendency of the coal in the magazine to become ignited, as hertofore,is eritirely prevented, without preventing its becoming heated; whilst the direct draught required at times, and especially in starting the tire in the stove, is amply provided for by the flue'O, which is made as large in diameter as its position between the usual indirect fines (not shown in the drawings) will permit, thus giving a large heat-radiating surface, and adirect-draught tlue between the hot space ba ud the chimney-flue D, the said draught-being eithercon trolled or entirely stopped, by nieans'ot' the sliding valve or damper c, the handle c", of which, projects conveniently in front of the stove, through the top plate 6.

Between the top plate 0" and the plate 0', there is transversely arranged, a fixed upright plate, 0'', whichcompletely separates the fines from the chamber E;

and the plate 6, extending directly and entirely over the whole of the heated fuel, and the surrounding spaces in the fire-chamber, becomes heated and warms the air in the chamber E, and also warms the top plate 0'', which, being perforated by numerous small holes, 4 4, there is consequently a constant warming and distribution of fresh air by means of the-said. chamber E. v

Claim.

1 claim, as my invention- In combination with a magazine-stovqthe direct flue O,tlie chimney-flue D, and the space 1)", outside of the magazine A, substantially as and for the purposes hereinbetbre set forth.
